I forget to keep up with the open access articles from Textile History. There are lots of great articles available right now. Two that stood out to me are the reconstruction of the mock velvet doublet and reproduction and analysis of Italian bobbin lace edgings #DressHistory

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer.
Thank them with your votes.

Serious thing for folks to consider is, particularly for marginalized people, Grudges Are Self-Defense. What you may be interpreting as pettiness is probably closer aligned to "You have demonstrated you're not to be trusted." And knowing who REALLY has your back is more important that ever.
I feel in my bones that the wave has started to crash back in and Certain People/Companies who thought they were safe to abandon everyone they’d been pretending to care about will suddenly realize that those people have money/power and I, for one, will be holding a grudge until the end of time 💜

It positively glows, this early 1890s tea gown by Emile Pingat. The variegated black & yellow silk creates a kind of burnished hue, additional drama fashioned in full sleeves & high collar. It seems quite structured for a tea gown but it certainly makes a statement #NatGalleryAus #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

If you can’t afford to print your zine, design your zine to be cheaper to print. If your motivation wanes halfway through a project then make your project 50% shorter. Don’t become so enamored with possibility that you lose sight of what is actually, wonderfully possible.
